Assuming that’s the same “King Tutt” who dominated the 2003 Class 2a state championship game for Iroquois West?

You are correct about the York job being open. That's because their HC, Mike Fitzgerald left and is moving over to Marist in Chicago to become their next HC, replacing Ron Dawczak who stepped down.

Harold Blackmon, former player at Leo, Northwestern, and the Seattle Seahawks and a former HC at St. Laurence and Oak Lawn High Schools has been named the new Head Coach at De La Salle Institute.
